Signature: Date: 25th September 2014 2 Thesis abstract This thesis investigates the ways in which literary and artistic modernism interpreted the Spanish institution of the corrida, or the bullfight. The sheer volume of modernist intellectuals who engaged with the corrida is startling. From Joyce to Picasso, Stein to Hemingway, Leiris to Lawrence, the bullfight provided inspiration to so many of the writers and artists of canonical modernism. Indeed, the relevance of the corrida to modernist intellectuals is perhaps captured best by Michel Leiris’s lucid metaphor of the bullfight as a mirror revealing ‘certain dark parts of ourselves’. In other words, in addition to providing the content of literature of the early twentieth century, many of the writers we identify as modernist used the corrida in a metaphorical capacity too. In light of this, it seems significant that the peak of modern interest in the corrida occurred in the context of a cultural crisis in western civilization in the first half of the twentieth century. Thus the key questions that this thesis seeks to address are as follows: why did the modernist gaze rest so intently upon the corrida? Why did so many European intellectuals cling to bullfighting and insist upon its enduring relevance given the apparent paradox between its own lack of adaptation to modern conditions and the very ‘newness’ that modernism championed? To what extent did the corrida act as a mirror to many of the cultural tensions problems addressed by modernism? How did modernism’s engagement with bullfighting, and the easy manner in which Hemingway’s body of work came to stand alone for that rich engagement, affect subsequent works that focussed on the bullring? These phenomena are examined in the context of the anomic cultural landscape of the era, taking into consideration the artistic, sexual and archaeological revolutions that informed and affected writers of the time. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter One: “From the Labyrinth to the Bullring” 27 Chapter Two: “Bullfighters and Writers” 66 Chapter Three: “Bullfighting and the Aesthetics of Modernism” 106 Chapter Four: “Bullfighting After Modernism” 140 Conclusion 178 4 Acknowledgements Queen Mary, University of London generously funded the research informing this thesis, for which I am tremendously grateful. I received a travel grant from the Queen Mary Postgraduate Fund in support of a research trip to the Mailer and Hemingway archives at the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas. Moreover, I must also give special thanks to the staff at this latter archive, whose expertise and patience were integral to the success of the trip and its importance to the research presented here. I could not have completed this thesis without the support and guidance of my supervisors, Professors Morag Shiach and Paul Hamilton. Their advice was always sage and their recommendations always thoughtful. Special mention must also be made of Professor Bill Schwarz and Dr. Suzanne Hobson, whose willingness to read and comment so helpfully on the work presented in these pages was beyond their professional obligations. Bill Schwarz, in particular, offered considerable advice in the inchoate stages of the project; I am indebted to him for expediting the formation of my research proposal. My friends have provided me with sound counsel and support throughout and have been more important than they could possibly know. From within Queen Mary, Niall Gildea and Emily Hogg were antidotes. From without, Oliver Wimborne, Seamus Biggins, Laura Tapsfield, Meredith Daniels, Kathryn Taussig, Benjamin Alcott, Kieron Limby, Megan Crisp and David Torrens have all been crucial in very different ways. Sonia Nootan had unerring faith when I didn’t, and her patience and empathy is without equal. My family have been a constant source of motivation during my academic career. My sister, Megan Crisp, and my nan, Shirley Foley, now know more about bullfighting than they ever thought they would. Finally, I must thank my parents, Margaret Foley and Philip Crisp, whose love and encouragement has sustained me throughout. This thesis is dedicated to them for all that they are and have been. 5 Introduction ‘Anything capable of arousing passion in its favour will surely raise as much passion against it.’1 - Ernest Hemingway ‘It is not a question of being a fan or disliking it[...]there is no choice but to elucidate it.’2 - Jose Ortega y Gasset The bullfight is a divisive spectacle, and this study examines the responses of individuals who, coincidentally, fall on both sides of that divide. In the reading and interpretation I offer here, I have always attempted (and, in my opinion, succeeded) to place my own personal feelings about the corrida aside. The purpose of this study is to consider the value of bullfighting to the existing understanding of certain branches of literary and visual modernisms, not to furnish the reader with a polemic from either side of a debate that is bigger than the study itself. Though what follows in the first half of this introduction is an autobiographical narration of my own encounter with bullfighting, it serves no other purpose than to provide a contextual framework for the genesis of this project. Making the decision to attend a bullfight is not easy; remaining in the arena to see it through is infinitely more difficult. Indeed, there are very few contemporary cultural practices more contentious than bullfighting – or as the Spanish term it, the corrida – and it is rare to encounter an unemotional, detached attitude towards it. In part, the violent nature of responses to bullfighting can be attributed to the semantic irony inherent in its name. After all, the bullfight – as it is termed in the English-speaking world – is not really a fight in any sense of the word. If what happens in the plaza de toros can be termed a fight, it is one which is rigged from the start. There is, realistically, no chance that the bull will emerge ‘victorious’ from the bullring. Even if, in the rare instances that it does occur, a matador received a serious or fatal goring, the chances are that the bull would still be slaughtered.3 Given the undeniable one-sidedness of the corrida, it is no surprise that the bullfight is such a contentious practice. Indeed, the corrida’s capacity to polarise opinion is remarkable; even in Spain, where the practice still holds much currency, opinion is vehemently divided on its enduring relevance. Beginning the project coincided with the banning of the practice in Catalonia in July 2010, in a move seemingly motivated both by its own separatist agenda and more specific concerns pertaining to animal welfare. 1 Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon (London: Vintage, 2000), p. 11. 2 José Ortega y Gasset, quoted in Rosario Cambria, ‘Bullfighting and the Intellectuals’, in Timothy Mitchell, Blood Sport: A Social History of Spanish Bullfighting (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1991), p. 214. 3 Pardons for toros bravos do exist, but these are extremely rare. Often they are granted in response to the matador’s inability to dispatch it rather than in cases where the bull manages to cause significant physical damage to the matador. 6 The ban came into force on 1 January 2012, with the last bullfight having been held in the region in September of the preceding year. Within mainland Spain too, there is undoubtedly an increased internal hostility towards the corrida. This hostility is discernible in a number of ways: it is not uncommon to visit a bullring in any of Spain’s major bullfighting centres to find that the city’s bullring has been daubed in graffiti such as ‘homocida’ or ‘asesino’ [murderer]. Indeed, the growing ambivalence towards the practice is borne out in the statistics; in 2008 there were some 3,295 corridas held across the country, and by 2012 this figure had dropped to 1,997 – a plummet of over 40%.4 Notwithstanding the difficult economic conditions in which Spain found itself during that particular timespan, such a downward trend surely at least implies the distinct possibility that bullfighting might not last another century, nor even another fifty years.

    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

An Abstract of “Keep Your Dirty Lights On:” Electrification and the Ideological Origins of Energy Exceptionalism in American Society by Daniel A. French Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo December 2014 Electricity has been defined by American society as a modern and clean form of energy since it came into practical use at the end of the nineteenth century, yet no comprehensive study exists which examines the roots of these definitions. This dissertation considers the social meanings of electricity as an energy technology that became adopted between the mid- nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth centuries. Arguing that both technical and cultural factors played a role, this study shows how electricity became an abstracted form of energy in the minds of Americans. As technological advancements allowed for an increasing physical distance between power generation and power consumption, the commodity of electricity became consciously detached from the steam and coal that produced it.

  • Policing the Borders of Identity At
    POLICING THE BORDERS OF IDENTITY AT THE MORMON MIRACLE PAGEANT Kent R. Bean A dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 Jack Santino, Advisor Richard C. Gebhardt, Graduate Faculty Representative John Warren Nathan Richardson William A. Wilson ii ABSTRACT Jack Santino, Advisor While Mormons were once the “black sheep” of Christianity, engaging in communal economic arrangements, polygamy, and other practices, they have, since the turn of the twentieth century, modernized, Americanized, and “Christianized.” While many of their doctrines still cause mainstream Christians to deny them entrance into the Christian fold, Mormons’ performance of Christianity marks them as not only Christian, but as perhaps the best Christians. At the annual Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah, held to celebrate the origins of the Mormon founding, Evangelical counter- Mormons gather to distribute literature and attempt to dissuade pageant-goers from their Mormonism. The hugeness of the pageant and the smallness of the town displace Christianity as de facto center and make Mormonism the central religion. Cast to the periphery, counter-Mormons must attempt to reassert the centrality of Christianity. Counter-Mormons and Mormons also wrangle over control of terms. These “turf wars” over issues of doctrine are much more about power than doctrinal “purity”: who gets to authoritatively speak for Mormonism. Meanwhile, as Mormonism moves Christianward, this creates room for Mormon fundamentalism, as small groups of dissidents lay claim to Joseph Smith’s “original” Mormonism. Manti is home of the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days, a group that broke away from the Mormon Church in 1994 and considers the mainstream church apostate, offering a challenge to its dominance in this time and place.

A bullfight is an event in which a bullfighter on foot or on horseback challenges a numbers of bulls (one each time) in a enclosed area built for this purpose; it’s Corrida de Toros. La Corrida is performed by a TORERO (bullfighter) called bullring or arena who is on foot. All the bullfighters are TOREROS but not all the toreros are “Matador de Toros” or “Diestro”. Matador is a category acquired in a ceremony Bullfighting may be divided into three different kinds, depending on the Torero’s experience, the size of the bull and the use of horses : called “Alternativa”. From this moment onwards he can fight with the red cape and the sword. Each Matador has his own team called cuadrilla which includes 6 members: 2 lancers, 3 flagmen and 1 sword servant. Not all the bulls can fight in this kind of corrida, they must weigh at least 460 kg and be 4 years old (the bull fight regulation allows bulls between 4 and 6 years old).

    Edouard Manet Edouard Manet (mah-NAY) 1832-1883 French Painter Edouard Manet was a transitional figure in 19th Vocabulary century French painting. He bridged the classical tradition of Realism and the new style of Impressionism—A style of art that originated in Impressionism in the mid-1800s. He was greatly 19th century France, which concentrated on influenced by Spanish painting, especially changes in light and color. Artists painted Velazquez and Goya. In later years, influences outdoors (en plein air) and used dabs of pure from Japanese art and photography also affected color (no black) to capture their “impression” of his compositions. Manet influenced, and was scenes. influenced by, the Impressionists. Many considered him the leader of this avant-garde Realism—A style of art that shows objects or group of artists, although he never painted a truly scenes accurately and objectively, without Impressionist work and personally rejected the idealization.
